Digital Technology for Engineering MSc

Overview

This course is a conversion course which aims to enable students from a technical, maths, computing or other related background to equip themselves with the necessary skills and knowledge to enable the deployment of digital systems into highly technological organisations.

Rapid advances in digital technologies and connectivity have changed the landscape of industry to the extent that many believe we are at the beginning of a fourth industrial revolution. This digital future will require a new generation of highly computer-literate engineers who can harness the power of digital engineering and take it to the workplace.

Individuals who have the skill set to design, implement and support these new ‘smart’ techniques and systems to improve industrial competitiveness could be highly employable in this future digital landscape.

This course is accredited and recognised byChartered Management Institute.

Career prospects

Professional engineering bodies like the Engineering Council and Engineering UK and RAE have predicted that the UK needs to create one million new engineers over the next five years to meet the challenges of digital industry.

As a result, there is likely to be high employer demand for graduates who can introduce and support the next generation of digital technologies, processes and systems. This conversion course equips students with an ideal skill set.
